We will be located in a Camping in a mountain terrain, we sill sleep in tents with the kids.The tasks of the volunteer will consist in developing the programmed tasks (excursions, workshops, reflections ...) like the rest of the volunteers. Besides, our intention is that the presence of the volunteer serves as an excuse for the children to know more about the country of origin of the volunteer.​It would be recommendable that the volunteer could speaks Spanish but it is not a requirement as it can be useful for all of us to practice English. Probably, not all the kids and volunteers will be fluent in English. That means that we have to make a creative effort in communication.

If you are interested, you should take into consideration that the camp is located in a natural environment, and we intend to live with the minimum necessary, without comfort. We aimed to be able to value what really matters: friendship and faith. It is important to have the clear idea that is a humble camp with very simple facilities.

The arrival date should be the 27th or the 28th of July to Barcelona. The volunteer could stay until the 7th or the 8th of August. During those days the volunteer could visit Barcelona, meet the camping team and help preparing the activities.
